look at em now

a girl did that?

she was popular

beautiful figure

was a cheerleader

they looked up to her

he was an athelete

good with the women

everyone loved him

on top of the world

they used to make fun of all the other kids

who wasn't cool and free

they were the life of the party

high school royalty

everything we wanted to be!

but look at 'em now!

20 years later

cakin' on her makeup

prayin' she don't wake up

look at 'em now!

can't hold down a job

class of '93

on her fourth baby-daddy now

look at 'em now!

tryin' to make ends meet

whatcha know about it?

whatcha know about it?

look at 'em now!

40 lookin' 64

everything that glitters ain't gold

she was a young girl

plain as the rain

glasses and ponytails

very few friends

he was a loner

not good at sports

teased by his classmates

for bein' too short

always made fun of by all the other kids

for not bein' like them

they were the joke of the party

called them nobodies

everything we didn't wanna be!

but look at 'em now!

20 years later

he runnin' for mayor

flexin' on them haters

look at 'em now!

she just got promoted

happily married

ten years and countin'

look at 'em now!

makin' mama so proud

whatcha know about it?

whatcha know about it?

look at 'em now!

40 lookin' 24

everything that glitters ain't gold

but

oh

same thing that'll make you laugh will make you cry

same thing that'll make you live will make you die

same thing that'll make you lose your fuckin' mind

fuckin' mind

fuckin' mind!

listen

same people that called you names now

probably never graduate

probably just gon' play it safe

regular job

regular car

regular wife

regular life

hell of a price to pay to look at 'em!

20 years later

oh won't you look at 'em!
